Notable quotes
“Even with it very fast, considering the way Jungle Queen treated me last night, I don't think I would have won anyway.”
“It's the more noob friendly. I think so. It's like you have achievable goals. Like winning your money back is quite achievable even for like Oliver who was there.”
“Not what you expect when you're spending car prices on a game. Ripping spinners so much that the spinner just comes apart.”
“I mean, it's not going into my top ten list, but it was a serviceable pinball machine that is not worth that price.”
“The training wheels are off. There's no reason to go back and do more original concepts, especially that one.”
“I don't think they're going to sell that many TNAs. So I think they think we'll go back. We already know how to build that, and we're going to be building the new one.”
